Pros

Strong brand in market place (though diminishing in recent years) Lots of PTO Good co-workers (below Director level) Started offering free coffee last year in cafeteria

Cons

Executive level turnover every few years (regime changes) Lots of reorgs Lots of layoffs Older veteran staff not valued or included in decision making Lack of transparency Executives don't know the tax and accounting profession/industry Cut throat, cover you *ss tactics and culture at higher levels Rank and file morale terrible Executives micro manage Decisions made without thinking through the consequences - only bottom line focus ("we'll figure out how to deal with getting things done with 20 less staff down the road") Great at cost-cutting (more and more getting outsourced), terrible at knowing how to grow top line. Sales rep turnover is astronomical - probably greater than 40% per year What executives say and do don't match - consequently no trust Could go on much more - bottom line is the Research & Learning organization is dysfunctional ...

Pros

Wolters Kluwer has some genuinely amazing people working for them and offers flextime for good work/life balance

Cons

Recently began pushing to "inhouse-outsource" as much of the core business functions as possible to their new service center in Pune, India. While many of my Indian colleagues are exceptional people, the constant turnover with overseas contractors and haphazard hiring and training process means that many of these staff members are woefully underprepared and set up for failure. As an example, I had to train my Indian contractor replacement before I left - while he was a lovely person, he had zero training in or experience with US payroll, benefit or tax structures despite that being approximately 50% of my core job function.
